Girl's Body Found in Alley Blocks from Home

“We have had e-mail issues in November, including an instance where we sent a media advisory for a press conference that wasn’t received," Drew said in an e-mail. "Therefore no media showed up to the event."

Drew said that incident happened Nov. 18, the same day the critical reach flier was sent to the office regarding Jahmeshia Conner.

Funeral services for Conner have been scheduled for Dec. 12 at 11 a.m. at New Covenant Baptist Church, 754 E. 77th St., according a spokeswoman for U.S. Rep. Bobby Rush (D-Ill.). Rush also announced a $10,000 reward for anyone whose information leads to the arrest and conviction of Conner's killer.

Anyone with information should contact Wentworth Area Detectives at 312-747-8380.
